Cannot connect to ad hoc network with iOS 8

I am trying to use my iPad air on iOS 8 to connect to an ad hoc network I've set up on my PC (windows 7).
The network appears under devices, and when I try to connect it says "(Name) is not connected to the internet. Are you sure you want to use this network?" and gives the option to join anyways. I tried joining, but the internet does not work.
When I set it up previously and had my iPad on iOS 7, I did not have this problem. I am not sure how to fix it.
Unfortunately I do not have any other devices to test my network to be 100% certain that the issue lies with my iPad, but this is my belief since I didn't have this problem before upgrading my OS.

Same here!
Windows xp
I've been using adhoc with my iPhone 5 on iOS 7 with no issue, now with iOS 8 it drops the connection right after establishing.
The same behavior used to happen when I tried to watch any video on the iPhone iOS 7 through adhoc, it dropped the connection just like it does now on iOS 8.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Could it be this:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

HT4262 I have two networks one each in two cities. Both are named the same but require different passwords. I am at my second location but cannot connect to his wifi network. How do I delet one network so I can connect to my second network?

I have two networks one each in two cities. Both are named the same but require different passwords. I am at my second location and cannot connect to this wifi network. How do I delet one network so I can connect to my second network?

Just go to the wireless network preferences and empty out all the stored wireless networks.. then scan and connect to the local wireless.
Select them and tap the - button below it.
Once they are emptied out.. it might be good to reboot the computer with the remember networks unchecked.
Start with a clean slate.

Cannot connect to the wireless networking

My Toshiba Laptop was preinstalled with Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit OS, and it had been working quite well with the wireless BB. However, the wireless internet connection was on and off within recent weeks, while the other mobile devices, such as iphone, ipad, or laptop, in my household had no such problem. The wireless signal was so strong, but the error message always said 'Windows cannot connect to the wireless networking'. It seemed there was something wrong with the wireless adapter.
I got a new TP-Link wireless adapter properly installed. Luckily, this worked; but unluckily, this worked for less than 24 hours. It was really frustrating that I, as a full-time student, depended so much on wireless networking.
Please help!!! Harry

Hi there
You may want to enlighten us with:
- What model are You using (f.ex. L300-123)
- What BIOS version is installed?
- What WLAN driver are You using?
All these questions are answered in PC Diagnostics found under Toshiba app folder in the start menu.

I installed Mountain Lion on my iMac. Now I cannot access the Internet. All the other computers and tablets have no problem. I did PRAM and MC reset, modem reset, etc., all the usual ju-ju. I also cannot connect on my local network to any other computer.

I installed Mountain Lion on my iMac. Now I cannot access the Internet. All the other computers and tablets on the network have no problem. I did PRAM and MC reset, modem reset, etc., all the usual ju-ju. I also cannot connect on my local network to any other computer. Yet Network control panel says I am connect to the modem, and Network Diagnosis says I am connected to the Internet. It's like the blind man who has eyes that cannot see. BTW, I am not some newbee. I have been a Machead since the early nineties and set up a half dozen networks, including the one I am using at home to which the iMac mysteriously is there but not. This has me stumped! I am considering going back to 10.7!

I did not install icloud when setup my ipad and now I cannot install icloud on ipad 3 with ios 8.1.

I did not install icloud when setup my ipad and now I cannot install icloud on ipad 3 with ios 8.1. Everything in Settings is complete and correct. I can log in from my PC with no trouble. If I go to icloud.com on Safari on the ipad, it takes me to a instruction page which only says to complete icloud in Settings.

That's happening because icloud.com is not designed to be viewed from the mobile version of Safari on your iPad, only from your computer browser.* You can still access it on your iPad if you're running iOS 8 by going to icloud.com, then tapping on the address bar where the url is displayed, tap the center of the screen and drag down, then tap "Request Desktop Site" under the address bar at the top. This will load the full desktop version of icloud.com. You'll find, however, that not all of the the features will respond to the touch screen.
* That's because all of your iCloud data is already on your iPad and can be accessed from within the apps that you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc.) If you need to use Find My iPhone (iPad), you can download the free Find My iPhone app to do so.

HT1212 my ipad just died. When i hook up to my computer on itunes it says cannot connect because it is locked with a passcode. i know my passcode but nothing is coming on, the screen is just blank and it is was fully charged

My ipad will not turn on. It was fully charged before it just died and would not turn back on. When I hook it up to my computer on itunes it says cannot connect because it is locked with a passcode. I know my passcode but the screen is just black, no power, so I cannot enter a pass code.

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Hold Sleep/Wake button down and slide to turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTune (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTune and plug.
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTune has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTune.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...

Can't connect to a wifi network with a wep keyid 2

Hi,
how do you connect to a wifi network with wep but the keyid is 2, i can't find an option.
i put the password, in asci and in hexa, and the answer "can't connect to the network" a xp near got connected after changing the key id in configs :((
did i miss something?
thanks for help

I am relatively new to Mac's, as at 40 having had IBM/Windows compatibles since I was 14 (8086 woot!), I am still learning.
However, I believe the answer is that you must use Key 1. I don't believe OSX offers the chance to use any others. However, in case I am wrong, try putting a $ before the WEP passphrase, but again, I think it only uses Key 1.
Hope that helps,

How can i connect to a wifi network with no internet connection?

I used to be able to connect my Z10 to a wifi network even when the network had no Internet connectivity when i got my phone in Feb. 2013 (10.0) However ever since the 10.1 update this has stopped working. I cannot connect to my wifi network when there is no Internet connection. I cannot play videos / music from my phone to my tv/music system or connect to my laptop. However my laptop and tv communicate just fine through the same network.
Can anyone recommend anything for this?

Your saved wifi networks should connect automatically whether internet is available or not, you may receive a notification "there appears to be no internet connection".
Update to 10.2, if not available from your carrier then use Sachesi (see other threads).

Cannot connect to FB from "Settings" after IOS 6 - the FB-app works correctly

Cannot connect to FB from "Settings" after IOS 6 - the FB-app works correctly - but logging in from the settings to be able to "match" my contacts just doesn´t work. It just keeps "porcessing", when I try to login. Any good advice?

I found a fix. I hope this helps.

X220: Connected to a 4G network with 21Mbit/sec - A pleasant surprise!

Yesterday i was at a meeting, where i normally is connected to 3G WAN with 7.2Mbit/sec. - i started the connection as i normally do, but discovered that i connected to a 4G network with 21Mbit/sec. I didn't even know that the WAN card in my X220 was able to do that. So i tested the connection immediately and i could download with 1.5Mbyte/sec. effectively.
It was a pleasant surprise!

Solved!
Go to Solution.

It seems your modem works at full speed for the 3G networks - HSDPA mode, 14.4 Mbps (Cat 10) downlink speed. Try upload and measure the speed. May be you'll get in the HSUPA mode up to 5.76 Mbps (Cat 6) uplink speed.
At the same time you see 21 Mbit/sec in the connection status window... Very interesting.
